Supporting Trauma-Informed Education Practices Act of 2026

• Students and families: Grants would increase access to school-based prevention, referral, treatment, and longer-term care coordination, including partnerships with Indian Health Service and other community systems.
• Educators and school staff: Funds can pay for professional development, positive behavioral interventions and supports, and programs to improve staff mental health and classroom climate.
• Tribal, early childhood, and rural communities: Eligible recipients include state and local education agencies, tribal educational agencies, the Bureau of Indian Education, regional corporations, and Native Hawaiian organizations; awards must be equitably distributed across tribal, urban, suburban, and rural areas and may fund partnerships with early childhood programs.
• Program design and oversight: Grants may last up to 5 years. Up to 3 percent of each year’s appropriation is set aside for evaluation and up to 2 percent for technical assistance and administration.

*If appropriated as authorized, this would provide $50 million per year from 2027 through 2031, increasing federal spending by that amount in each of those years.*
